I was invited to speak at the California Association of Realtors Conference in Long Beach, on the Media and Marketing Panel. As always I will gladly jump on stage to spout about things I'm passionate about and was honored to do so.

One of the main things I spoke about was what I think the secret to being successful in this business is… One word – YOUTUBE. Lead, don’t follow and find your own information.

It's funny stepping out of my bubble to see what the rest of my industry is doing and it's always kinda wild to compare what I'm doing. It seems that real estate, for the most part, is stuck in the dark ages... but I attempted to shine a light on at least my contribution to the industry in this episode of the Vlog...

This was a superb event where I got to explain my ideas on the future of the industry. I’ve been banging my drum about this the last couple years so it was wonderful to spread the word…

Storytelling through video is the future. The future is video. “In 2019 it is said that 85% of traffic on the internet will be video.” That’s just nuts. I knew in my gut this is where the world was headed years ago and I went full speed ahead in that direction. If you want to take risks, tell a story with video and find your tribe to aim it at.

I was in a meeting over the weekend and I heard this phrase "Courage is a love affair with the unknown" and it really, really resonated with me. If everything in life was a dead cert what a boring life this would be. I have always bought massively into the theory that life is all about the journey and not the destination and this phrase perfectly galvanizes the ethos.

In the mantra I cover a great deal of ground talking about strategies, theories and a whole host of other information. Mantra, for me, has become a great way to klick off the week and make sure I slam into it head on with all the gusto I can muster. So strap in, thanks for joining me, you coming along for the ride just means the world an so I thank you for your eyes, your ears and for being part of the rebellion.
